HOT DOGS

Two more dog owners were cited for leaving dogs in their cars while they went shopping. On Aug. 16, Animal Control Officer Jeffrey York reported going to the Dollar Tree store at 320 Warwick Ave. for a report of a car parked directly in front of the store. He said a Warwick police officer warned the man that he could not leave with the dog sitting in his lap, as he apparently intended to do, and said he would have to make a harness and secure the dog on the back seat. York said he reminded the man he couldn’t leave a dog in a hot car that registered 123 degrees inside by giving the man a ticket for that. John E. Casale, 66, of 35 Paine St. in Cranston was given a summons for Municipal Court.

On the same day, York reported being in front of the Kohl’s store in the Rhode Island Mall where he removed a medium-sized dog from a parked car and kept it in his air-conditioned truck while he waited for a Foster woman to come out of the store. When she did, he told her it was 118 degrees inside her car and he gave Rita S. Vaughn, 62, of 3 Mount Hygeia Rd., a summons for Municipal Court.

SKYLIGHTS TRASHED

An employee at the Confreda Ball Field Complex on Bend Street told police he arrived at work on Aug. 13 and saw that someone had climbed up on the roof sometime overnight and kicked the skylights out. He said the skylights cost $200 each. He said he had video of the two kids involved in the incident and that the video was being enhanced to better identify the culprits. He said the city of Warwick wants to press charges against the vandals.
